Polypropylene non-woven meshes with conformal glycosylated layer for lectin affinity adsorption: The effect of side chain length

- Conformal grafts by a modified plasma pretreatment and BP entrapment UV process.
- The glycosylated non-woven meshes showed affinity adsorption to Con A lectin.
- High binding capacity and fast adsorption kinetics were accomplished.
- Increasing the side chain length had positive effect on lectin binding capacity.
- Model studies suggest a multilayer adsorption behavior of Con A lectin.
